A violet light -- Trespass -- Out of the blue -- A different sort of wealth, a novelette -- Rappings -- Turning point -- The power of names -- Jigsaw puzzle, a novelette -- How many times? -- The secret -- Seeing clearly.

A collection of stories focusing on the relationships between generations, acknowledging the prevalence of the shadows that are everywhere -- but also celebrating the light. The stories are touched with humour and outrage, mystery and shadow. Curious preteens receive an unexpected education, a lonely dairy farmer develops a special bond with his neighbour's children, an ageing author manages to get one up on her adversarial interviewer. Loss and learning, conflict and memory run through generations, innocence gives way to experience, and all must learn to redefine themselves and the way they see the world.

Short stories, Canadian.

Canadian fiction.
